the final leaf
falling from the tree
is your name

At any moment
A great moment
A Jovial moment
Something could happen,
Even if it hasn’t.

Ay, but to die, and go we know not where,
To lie in cold obstruction and to rot,
This sensible warm motion to become
A kneaded clod; and the delighted spirit

I had a vision of all sick things bad and malignant
draining from my body like the outgoing tide
And I just knew that somehow it really is
Possible
One day.

Be a continuation of the past
By just walking talking breathing
And deciding to dig a hole into the
Side of the hill and just laying down
Out and sheltered from the cold.
The first past
The true past.

The moon keeps vigil every sweet night,
I shudder to think what might occur
Without its roving bone eye
Watching us all awake
And asleep

The most mundane thing in the world
To lay lie down in a field and
Never get up again
Joining the billions
From moths to deer that have
Come before you and more will follow

I will redeem all this on Percy's head
And in the closing of some glorious day
Be bold to tell you that I am your son;
When I will wear a garment all of blood
And stain my favours in a bloody mask,
Which, wash'd away, shall scour my shame with it:

-Prince Hal

An asteroid 10 seconds from hitting Earth-
and I'd still be Jovial
with you.

“The glow faded, each light deserting her with lingering regret, like children leaving a pleasant street at dusk.”

Every candle is a vigil
marking its own life
and when it ends
everything ends
so Burn at both ends
and marvel at the light

Humans spin themselves into a frenzy when
the pungent scent of friendship is in air
thicker than blood in water

Snakes aren’t metaphors, they exist on the land
As a creature no different than a demon or a pixie,
All god’s creatures.

When the sky above the herd of goats glows red
missiles and bionic hunks rain on the land
but they’ll be back, bearing more children
for they can.

Armies and soldiers are dust and wind
The true battle is always internal and mystical.
A diamond lump gleaming on the field of war.

I’m pummeled harder by memories
than wind or rain could ever hope to
beat on the outsides of my body
before sliding off useless in their
conquests

I’m old enough to see the arc a life
wings spanning and soaring before
crashing and living by the side
of a mud lake.
and long lived to know
all bones mend over
the long warm months

Reading my fortune for the day in
the pattern of my bed sheets
I can see the true hum of night
laid bare for all.

Long hair wraps around the neck
like a braided scarf
against the mellow wind
kicking up on a short walk
home

A brownie in a child’s hand,
Wouldn’t trade it for the
Shiniest sapphire that
Ever reflected true
Color of the sky

In the house of a blind man
rainbows of color
spilling from every
cabinet and door.

In the mornings, the real mornings
all dark with a scattered thing walking around
There is only peace
Only the people who wake in the light
Are grumpy for missing their chance to
join the melted hours.

Seeing what the men in the bar laughed at.
You might know more about them
then they know about themselves

The cloud refused to rain on women or dogs, but all others were open for a downpour with a particular delight given to ruling over children and anything wearing a suit.
